OP It occurred to me today while reading some comments about an artist's work online that the phrase 'it blew my mind' doesn't actually make any literal sense. What's blowing my mind? Why is blowing on it so awe-inspiring? Or is it being blown up? Or blown away?
Anyone know the etymology?
Also, wow, has it really been seven years since I was last back here?? (not counting three brief posts back in '07). Enough time to leave school, finish university and get a job or three. Mind blown.
Hope some of the familiar monikers are still around...
